Read MoreFrequently Asked Questions
Have questions about getting started at Ascended BJJ and Boxing? Here are answers to what families and new students in Kingston ask us most.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a grappling martial art built on leverage, control, and technique rather than size or strength. At Ascended BJJ and Boxing, we teach it for self-defense, fitness, and fun, with classes for kids and adults at every level.
Not at all. Most of our students walk in with zero background in martial arts. Our coaches break everything down step by step, so you learn safely at your own pace from your very first class.
Yes. We invite you or your child to try a class for free so you can experience the mats, meet the coaches, and see if Ascended is the right fit before signing up. Just reach out to book your spot.
Our Juniors program welcomes kids as young as 4, with separate Kids and Teens classes as they grow. Each group is taught at an age-appropriate pace that builds focus, confidence, and coordination.
Gi training uses the traditional uniform, so you can grip the jacket and pants, while no-gi is done in shorts and a rash guard at a faster, more athletic pace. We train both so you develop a complete game.
Yes. Alongside Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, we run boxing classes for adults that sharpen your striking, footwork, and conditioning. It is a great workout on its own or the perfect complement to your grappling.
Families come to Ascended for our spotless facility, our welcoming, no-ego culture, and coaches who genuinely care about every student. We are as much a community as a gym, and you feel it the moment you walk in.
